Went to get my car tag renewed. The lady wasn’t feeling her day. So, I pestered her until she softened. I hope she has a good day. Dealing with angry car owners probably isn’t much fun.

Afterward, I went to pray at the church for a few minutes. I use an app called Laudate and it has tons of prayers in it. It even has a virtual rosary since I can’t seem to keep up with one. This morning, I did the Chaplet of Divine Mercy prayers. And then, I rambled a little bit to God in my head.

Got to thinking about how selfish our prayers can be-especially mine. So, I told God, in prayer, that I’m sorry for being difficult and resisting for so long. And then I expressed my love and gratitude for God for helping me overcome difficult seasons in my life.

It felt good to acknowledge God’s help and care for me and those I love.

Well, I have so much to do. My home is not as tidy as it should be. I need to install a front license plate because I’ve been resisting that for like 5 years on my car. I hope that $70 device I got to avoid drilling into my bumper fits my Fiat.

I have to do laundry. All of my food ingredients take at least an hour to make something from. I need to clean the fish tank. I have no energy for these tasks-increased antipsychotic medication side-effects. But these tasks must get done. Since I’m in recovery from mania, I have to take things slowly-low dopamine slows you down to a crawl. It will probably take me until Friday.

Thanks for reading, and I wish you good seasons in your life.
